Our first eight publications, Steam at Allandale (now again available!), To Stratford Under Steam,  Steam Over Palmerston, Steam Through London, Steam to the Niagara Frontier, Steam in Northern Ontario, Steam Scenes of Allandale and  Steam Echoes of Hamilton will be joined by Steam Memories of Lindsay in fall 2009.

Similar volumes on other CNR subjects such as the Toronto-Montreal mainline, the Oakville Subdivision and more Steam Scenes editions will follow. The focus of these publications is the CNR locomotives, trains, operations, history and occupations during the railroad transition era of the 1950s.

It would be difficult to put together a book that better depicts a particular railroad than this one - it entertains and informs with grace and style. Take a bow, Mr. Wilson; you deserve it.

The best explanation of how such a place worked that I have ever read.

I will continue to buy every book Ian Wilson puts out.
JOHN SWANSON

Ian has set standards that any volume should try and meet.
PAUL BOWN

These books are a series of chapters telling and recreating separate stories about railway life... this is a semi-transcript of "oral history" that may have been lost except for this effort. I felt as if I was there in space and time.

If you are a fan of CNR operations in the days of steam you will want to acquire this work.

An entertaining and informative read, and a wonderful photographic essay about 1950s railroading.
